(Short description)
The Vandal period in North Africa has aroused the interest of historians since long as an intermediate period in late antique North Africa, spanning over much of the fifth and the early sixth centuries until the Vandal kingdom was conquered by the Byzantine Empire. Most studies have concentrated on the historic sources, through which a nuanced picture of the Vandal era was gained in recent years. This book assumes an archaeological perspective as an important counterweight and addition to the historic image. Concentrating on Carthage and two larger regions in modern Tunisia, the archaeological evidence is studied with a specific interest on the behaviour of local leading classes. Within the many signs of material continuity, the way the Vandal kings understood and executed their rule over Africa has produced some evidence that also points at the decisive changes that came with the time.

b, die sich besonders stark erst in der nachfolgenden byzantinischen Zeit entfalteten, hier aber ihre Grundlagen haben. Das Buch stellt die erste zusammenfassende Betrachtung im weitesten Sinne vandalenzeitlicher Befunde im größeren Rahmen in Nordafrika dar und ist dadurch eine wichtige Ergänzung sowie ein Gegengewicht zu den überwiegend historisch geprägten Studien zu dieser Epoche.
